Cyclone's decor is all rusty corrugated-iron, although it's surprisingly cosy inside, with local art on the walls, upbeat staff, and strong, aromatic coffee (try the triple-shot 'Hypercino'). The menu is diverse, offering breakfast goodies such as Middle Eastern eggs, spinach, feta, lemon rind and dukkah on a muffin. Lunch is salads, burgers and melts; try the beetroot and halloumi salad.
